WKRYBODY'S  SHCSITHAND  uees  the  systeiii  of  signs  originally  invented 
by  Duploy*  in  France  about  the  year  1867,  and  full  acknowlodgBente  for 
help  received  are  rendered  to  the  Sloan-Duployan ,  Pornin,  Gregg,  and  to 
the  leading  ^tnanlc  Systems. 

Originality  is  clalned  in  the  presentation  of  the  sound  spelling 
drills;  the  voxel  scale;  in  maintaining  the  righthand  ootion  of  the 
circle  vowel,  dclng  away  entirely  with  unr.eoessary  reverse  motions;  in 
presenting  phrasing,  which  is  a  great  speed  factor,  from  the  first  les- 
son; in  the  four  basic  positions  for  the  prefixes;  and  ir.  the  presen- 
ting of  contractions  and  miscellaneous  phrases  which  have  been  found 
useful  in  my  fifteen  years'  experience  covering  office,  law  and  conven- 
tion reporting. 

Having  taught  hundreds  of  boys  euid  girls,  young  men  and  young  wo- 
men, and  old  men  and  old  women,  vh&  are  today  using  their  knowledge  in 
a  practical  way,  I  have  no  hesitation  in  claiming  for  this  system  the 
most  perfect  results  in  its  ease  of  acquirement,  legibility  sjid  speed. 
Any  person  having  an  ordinarily  good  uriderstanding  of  his  language  can 
with  two  hours'  practice  a  day  attain  a  speed  of  from  85  to  100  legibl* 
words  per  minute  in  three  months;  and,  if  he  has  been  squally  diligent 
in  his  practice  on  the  typewriter,  he  can  hold  any  ordinary  office  po- 
sition at  the  end  of  that  tine. 

EVStYBOCY'S  SHORTHAMS  is  especially  adapted  to  use  in  the  public 
schools;  children  of  the  7tb  grade  having  sufficient  knowledge  of  their 
own  language  to  enable  them  to  begin  this  study  most  profitably;  and, 
as  the  "»■»<"»""  dexterity  is  only  attained  when  the  mind  and  hand  oper- 
ate mechanically,  it  behooves  parents  tg  give  their  chlldrer  ar,  early 
etart  in  an  art  that  is  at  once  90  useful  and  profitable.

BVIRYBODY'S  SHORTHAND. 

Inatructlons  for  Writing  Alphab«t. 

DDUBmOK  or  STROKES.-  All  horliontal  »troke»  ar*  written  fro«  left  to  rl«ht;  kU 
other  etrokes  we  written  fro»  top  to  botto»,  excepting  thoee  that  have  "(up)"  written 
after  thea,  theee  latter  being  Invariably  written  up.  The  elrelee  aay  be  either  round  or 
oval;  they  are  OBORALLY  written  with  a  rlghthand  aotlon  and  ehould  be  so  practiced  in 
alphabet  practice. 

SIZE  or  STRCKZS.-  No  two  pereon*  will  Hke  their  shorthand  characters  exactly 
the  eaae  any  acre  than  any  two  persone  will  write  the  sane  longhand,  but  for  eetabllehing 
a  syetea  of  uniforxlty,  the  1  etroke  1(  eald  to  be  one  space  high;  therefore  1,  r  and  the 
combir^tlon  signs  are  one  space  high;  p,  k,  f,  1,  a,  n,  w,  uh,  st,  sp,  sk,  krs  are  two 
•paces  high  and  t,  th,  a,  sh,  j  are  the  saae  nuaber  of  spaces  in  length;  b,  g,  v,  ing,  str. 
spr,  skr,  grs  are  three  spaces  high  and  d  is  their  equal  in  length.  The  saall  circle  Is 
Bade  as  snail  as  possible  and  the  large  ones  should  be  three  tiass  the  else  of  ths  aaallest 
ah  circle,  so  the  aw  circle  will  fall  between  the  two  siies.    The  running  hand,  with 
whole-ara,  auscular  aoveaent  is  aost  conducive  to  epeed. 

SHADI  AND  POSITION.-  There  is  no  shade  and  r.o  position  cbsenred  in  this  eystes  of 
ahorthand.  It  can  be  written  as  readily  and  read  as  easily  on  unruled  paper  as  en  ruled, 
but  for  ease  in  obeerving  lineality,  beginnere  should  observe  the  caution  to  always  let  tha 
mST  CONSONAIR  IN  A  IDRD  RIST  ON  ?HX  UNK. 

HATSRIALS.-  While  EVBIYBODY'S  SHORTHAND  aay  be  written  with  the  aaae  materials 
and  under  any  circuastances  that  longhand  nay  be  written,, the  practical  shorthand  writer 
will  provide  hiaaelf  with  two  nediuB  pencils  having  good  points  on  each,  and  notebooks  of 
glazed  paper,  for  very  rapid  work,  the  narrow  note  book  is  the  best,  and  the  left  hand 
ahould  always  be  used  for  turning  the  pages,  the  notebook  lying  flat  open  on  the  desk. 

THX  ALPHABET  DRILL.-  The  best  results  are  always  obtained  in  writing  froa  dic- 
tation, and  this  can  be  cosBenced  with  profit  isoediately  after  the  entire  class  have  las- 
tered  the  different  signs.  Let  the  teacher  pronounce  the  name  of  each  sign  dictinctly 
through  the  entire  alphabet  fcrvards  and  then  backwards,  then  let  the  slowest  reader  in 
the  class  pronounce  the  ease   back  from  his  or  her  notes,  and  so  on  through  the  entire  olaea 
ending  with  the  aost  rapid  readers,  the  rest  of  the  class  writing  froa  the  dictation.

Kwrolsa  3>  Joining  of  Ta«*l(  to  Conaonanta. 

CIRCLI  V01B.8  are  joined  to  VBtTICAL  and  DOIN  OBLIQUX  etrokee  on  the  left  at  the 
beginning  and  ending  of  vords;  also  on  the  left  between  elnllare.  The  circle  Tovel  la 
brought  round  with  rlghthand  motion  onto  the  coneonant.  Do  not  Increase  the  length  of 
the  coneonant  for  the  large  olrclea.  Let  the  flret  consonant  in  a  word  rest  on  the  line, 
or  start  froa  the  line.  The   rlghthand  notion  of  the  circle  vowel  le  the  sane  as  the  no- 
tion of  the  hands  of  a  watch. 

CIRCLI  VOUELS  are  joined  to  HORIZONTAL  and  UFTARD  OBLIQUI  etrokee  below  at  the 
begtnnlng  and  ending  of  trords;  also  below  between  Blailars. 

CIRCLE  VUWKjS  are  joined  to  CIRCULAR  STROKXS  inside  at  the  beginning  and  end- 
ing of  .words. 

When  CIRCLI  VOflB^S  occur  between  two  consonants  THAT  rCWM  AN  ANQLI,  the  circle  is 
always  nade  on  the  OOTSIBI  of  the  angle  with  right  or  lefthand  motion  as  nay  be  necessary. 

The  uh  etroke  is  nade  in  two  ways  to  avoid  angles;  the  under  stroke  is  used  after 
the  DilTIAL  consonant,  and  the  over  stroke  before  the  INTTLAL  CONSONANT. 

The  other  vowels  are  joined  naturally  to  the  consonants  as  in  longhand,  with  the 
nCBTION  of  the  A  HOOK  which  le  hooked  on  with  a  left  hand  motion  to  avoid  angles;  it  is 
easily  distinguished  from  the  other  hook  Towele,  as  they  are  always  joined  with  a  right'> 
hand  motion. 

The  following  Vowel  Scale  should  be  used  as  class  drill  together  with  the  alpha- 
bet for  at  least  one-half  hour  each  day  during  the  firet  month  of  the  etudy.

A-rine  drssser,  who  lay  at  the  point  of  death,  called  his  sonf  around  hin  ar.d  said, 
"Thers  ie  a  treasure  ir  our  vineyard  if  you  will  ''nly  dig  for  it."  "Where",  cried  they  all. 
'But  •he  father  could  orJLy  say,  "Dig  for  it",  and  died.  Ho  was  hardly  buried  wher.  the  eons 
begaj.  to  dig  with  all-their  aight  for  what  they  supposed  to  be  gold,  and  raked,  heed  and 
trenched  the  vineyard  over  till  not  a-clod  remained  that  was  not  broken  to  dust,  and  every

peared, and-the  sons  began  to  fear  their  father  had  been  mocking  them. 

When  next  year  cane,  however,  they  found  their  vines  bore  three  fold  and-the  clusters 
were  far  finer  than  those  of  their  neighbors.  They  then  saw  what  their  father  had  neant,

SHORTQilNG  PROCESSES. 

The  dote  for  i,  h,  th,  j-ch  are  generally  omitted  from  vords  in  sentences,  the  signs 
being  as  readily  recognized  as  the  undotted  i  or  uncrossed  t  in  longhand. 

Filial  8  may  be  indicated  by  the  joined  dot,  mde  by  a  quick  twisting  motion  of  the 
thumb  at  the  end  of  the  stroke;  and  final  ing  is  indicated  by  a  disjoined  dot  placed  slight- 
ly above  and  to  the  right  of  the  end  of  the  last  sign  written. 

When  the  short  vowels,  eh/^,  iixD,  uhl^  occur  between  two  like  strokes,  the  short 
vowel  Ic  omitted  and  a  double  length  consonant  stroke  written  to  represent  the  syllable. 
Thus  a  douMe  length  b  may  represent  the  syllables  beb,  bib,  bub;  a  double  length  s,  or  s>x 
represents  the  syllables  see,  sis,  aus  or  eez,  six,  suz;  double  length  m  represents  mem, 
mim,  mum,  etc.  Hhen  the  double  length  strokes  represent  vertical  or  dOTn-cbllquee,  they 
are  written  through  the  line. 

R  is  generally  OUTTED  KFT1R  CIRCXS  VOIELS.  The  Southern  people  do  not  sound  tht. 
r  in  these  instances,  and  the  student  of  phonies  will  find  that  the  words  are  easily  recog- 
nized without  the  r  stroke. 

Where  two  consecutive  words  end  and  begin  with  a  similar  stroJce,  and  when  the  two  words 
are  rapidly  spoken  only  one  of  the  consor.ant  sounds  1?  heard,  then  the  words  are  JOINS) 
and  only  the  consonant  distinctly  uttered  is  writter,. 

All  consonants  NOT  MSTDICTLY  ENUNCIATED  are  omitted.

missed for  n-ar.t  of  prceecuticn. 

Words  of  length  are  rarely  uritten  beyond  the  accented  vo'wel,  diphthong  or  combination 
in  the  accented  syllable,  the  context  readily  supplying  the  rest  of  the  word,  but  the  stu- 
dent will  find  the  affixes  given  in  the  next  lenson  useful  in  many  instaAeee,  and  they 
should  be  thoroughly  memorized.

the  first  stroke  of  the  next  word  ImnBdiately  above.  Ihen  the  stroke  following  does  not 
readily  adapt  itself  to  this  position,  place  a  dot  imediately  above  the  vowel,  diphthong 
or  coabination  of  the  contracted  word  and  write  the  next  word  in  Its  natural  position  on

The  sounds  oo   and  uh    ,  being  represented  by  slow  strokes  and  the  words  containing 
then  as  accented  syllables  being  few, such  words  may  be  contracted  by  writing  up  to  the  oo 
or  uh  and  beglnnlr.g  the  first  stroke  of  the  next  word  imediately  below  the  last  sign  writ* 
ten  to  indicate  their  suppression.  The  dot  nay  be  used  below  instead  of  the  next  word,  whan 
the  strokes  do  not  readily  adapt  themselves  to  this  position.

My  Beloved  Brother:-  The  date  of  this  letter  in  comparison  with  the  date  of  yours  is  siaply 
disgraceful;  but  owing  to  '.he  illness  and  absence  of  my  secretary,  and  t'ns  great  pressure 
of  work,  my  mail  nao  acctsiulated . 

I  want  to  thank  you  from  ay  heart  for  your  good  letter  of  January  28th.  The  words  you 
say  concerning  my  correspondence  cdirce  have,  as  you  well  know,  an  especial  weight  a^d 
value  to  me.  I  have  long  regarded  you  as  the  first  of  our  Biblical  theologians  and  have 
profited  greatly  by  your  teachings. 

I  agree  with  you  full/  tnat  the  four  gospels  do  not  furnish  us  with  ^Bteriai  for  a 

Ufe  of  Christ;  and  I  would  have  put  my  ctataaent  in  the  Course  as  to  that  fact  more  sTong- 

ly,  had  I  not  wished  to  avoid  antagonliing,  on  a  matter  of  detail,  these  who  seem  to  find
